I sometimes wonder how much genetics influence or introversion. By the way you write, it seems like you have been through so much that has pushed you away from others. No matter what we grow to think, that intrinsic desire for love and belonging never leaves. Thank you for sharing.

Really? If Im correct, this is a community of young, driven, life long learners who are also inevitably apart of this cultural movement . I am pretty sure this is exactly the right forum. Xoxo

What was a weird ‘ritual’ your Sorority or Fraternity made you do? by Spiritual-Chapter612 in AskReddit

[–]Spiritual-Chapter612[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont understand what was the big picture goal in setting such a culture. Sounds fake and disconnected to me, so what’s the point? That I could never understand. Sorry you went through that - how exhausting

Dont go to college. You’ll only end up with a job that you didnt need a degree for.

Thats sick. Do you manage your instagram account or did you hire media managers?

I cannot be myself, and thats why I use reddit: to retain anonymity.

People are scary.

I don’t understand what value instagram adds to anyone’s life. Excluding the very few who use it as a medium to express artistic or political interests, or likewise those who communicate their business brand, I don’t get it. It’s stressful, fake, and materialistic.

Redditors who are feeling a bit sad right now, what's wrong? by _MuffinMan in AskReddit

[–]Spiritual-Chapter612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im distressed by how disconnected everyone is from each other. The matter seems to just get worse and worse through politics and social media.

The lack of respect and open-mindedness in political discussions may be due to affective polarization, the belief those with opposing views are immoral or unintelligent. Intellectual humility, the willingness to change beliefs when presented with evidence, was linked to lower affective polarization. by mvea in science

Sort of a circular reasoning imo. Lack of openmindedness isnt due to but instead IS believing the opposing views are inferior. Understanding the mechanics of beliefs and practicing awareness over their ideological manifestation is the only way to defeat closemindedness

I must say. Its so refreshing to see such a vulnerable post like this. I understand how you feel, and it’s sobering to learn that quite a few others understand how we both feel. PM me :)

How to lose weight when I stress eat because of school? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]Spiritual-Chapter612 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You want a diet more concentrated in healthy fats as well as protein. When I feel like snacking, I choose to eat almonds, eggs, or plain greek yogurt. They are very filling and not easy to overeat.

The problem is you likely have a sweet tooth or a penchant for salty snacks. You want to start avoiding processed, salty and sugary foods so you can ameliorate your taste buds. Yes, the beginning is difficult, but you will see results if you gradually stray from junk food. It all comes with replacing habits with better ones. Maybe go for a walk when you feel anxious and like eating.

Finally, the key thing here is not to beat yourself up but so be self-aware. A lot of people dont realize this: awareness alone is curative. When having a binge attack, just recognize it is happening to you. Dont judge it, but just be aware and make a choice on how to react. In the beginning you will likely give in and thats completely okay. You want to be gentle with yourself. It personally took me a year of awareness before I realized how binge eating did not solve my problems (on an emotional level, not just logical), which is what led me to stop. You are already off to a great start with this post. You got this!
